In C,

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   char filename[256], name[] = "Derrick";
   FILE *file;
   sprintf(filename, "%s.txt", name);
   file = fopen(filename, "w");
   if ( file != NULL )
   {
      fprintf(file, "%s\n", name);
      fclose(file);
   }
   return 0;
}

>in c++? is the syntax the same or different?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std

int main()
{
  string name = "Derrick";
  string filename = name + ".txt";
  ofstream file ( filename.c_str() );
  if ( file )
  {
    file<< name <<endl;
  }
}
